ABSTRACT

The Alcohol Test Committee of the Canadian Society of Forensic Science observed its 25th anniversary in October of this year. The event was celebrated at the 39th Annual Meeting of the Society held in Halifax, Nova Scotia, August 20–25, 1992. It was also an occasion to honour Dr. R.F. Borkenstein whose BREATHALYZER® has been used in Canada since the introduction of “Drinking and Driving” legislation in December, 1969.

RÉSUMÉ

Le Comité des analyses d'alcool de la Société canadienne des sciences judiciaires a commémoré son 25ième anniversaire en octobre dernier. Cet événement a été célébré durant la 39ième réunion annuelle de la Société, à Halifax, en Nouvelle-Ecosse, du 20 au 25 août 1992. C'était également l'occasion rêvée pour rendre honneur au Dr. R. F. Borkenstein, inventeur du Breathalyzer. On se souvient que cet alcootest a été utilisé au Canada depuis décembre 1969 suite à l'introduction des lois reconnaissant la relation entre l'alcoolémie et l'affaiblissement des capacités pour conduire un véhicule moteur.
